Amazon DynamoDB + Bruin

Source

Ingest Amazon DynamoDB data into your warehouse with incremental loading, quality checks, and full lineage. Defined in YAML, version-controlled in Git.

For business teams

What you get

Real-time warehouse sync
Amazon DynamoDB tables replicate to your warehouse continuously. Analytics teams work with fresh data, not yesterday's export.
Catch issues at the source
Quality checks validate Amazon DynamoDB data as it replicates. Null IDs, duplicate records, and schema drift get caught early.
Multi-source joins
Combine Amazon DynamoDB with SaaS data, APIs, and other databases in your warehouse. One Bruin pipeline handles it all.
No untracked scripts
Replication is defined in YAML, reviewed in PRs, and deployed with CI/CD. No more mystery cron jobs.

For data & engineering teams

How it works

CDC with merge strategy
Bruin handles change data capture from Amazon DynamoDB with deduplication. Schema changes are detected and handled automatically.
YAML-defined, Git-versioned
Your Amazon DynamoDB replication is a YAML file. Review in PRs, deploy with CI/CD. No more untracked database scripts.
Row-level quality checks
Validate primary keys, foreign keys, and referential integrity on every sync. Catch corruption at the source.
Multi-source pipelines
Combine Amazon DynamoDB with SaaS APIs and other databases in one pipeline. Bruin resolves cross-source dependencies.

Before you start

AWS credentials

DynamoDB table access permissions

Step 1

Add your Amazon DynamoDB connection

Connect using AWS credentials and region. Add this to your Bruin environment file, credentials are stored securely and referenced by name in your pipeline YAML.

Parameters

access_key_idAWS access key ID
secret_access_keyAWS secret access key
region_nameAWS region where DynamoDB tables are located

connections:
  dynamodb:
    type: dynamodb
    uri: "dynamodb://?access_key_id=<access_key_id>&secret_access_key=<secret_access_key>&region_name=<region_name>"

Step 2

Create your pipeline

Define a YAML asset that tells Bruin what to pull from Amazon DynamoDB and where to land it. This file lives in your Git repo, reviewable, version-controlled, and deployable with CI/CD.

name: raw.dynamodb_data
type: ingestr

parameters:
  source_connection: dynamodb
  source_table: 'data'
  destination: bigquery

Step 3

Add quality checks

Add column-level and custom SQL checks to your Amazon DynamoDB data. If a check fails, the pipeline stops, bad data never reaches downstream models or dashboards.

Validate row counts are within expected range

Ensure primary keys are unique and not null

Catch schema drift with freshness checks

columns:
  - name: id
    checks:
      - name: not_null
      - name: unique
  - name: created_at
    checks:
      - name: not_null

custom_checks:
  - name: row count within expected range
    query: |
      SELECT COUNT(*) BETWEEN 1 AND 10000000
      FROM raw.dynamodb_data

Step 4

Run it

One command. Bruin connects to Amazon DynamoDB, pulls data incrementally, runs your quality checks, and lands clean data in your warehouse. If a check fails, the pipeline stops, bad data never reaches downstream.

Backfill historical data with --start-date

Schedule with cron or trigger from CI/CD

Full lineage from Amazon DynamoDB to your dashboards
